HB 585

This video was created for a class during Florida’s 2015 Legislative Session. There was a bill which was targeting the transgender population unfairly, forcing individuals to use restrooms based off of birth sex, not gender identity. The video was created while the bill was in committee. Luckily for all Trans Floridians (and human rights), the bill never made it out of committee and died during the session.

Florida House Bill 583 “requires the use of single-sex public facilities be restricted to person of sex for which facility is designated for.”

Sponsored by Senator Frank Artiles (On Twitter: @Artiles118), this bill could make using the restroom a crime for many transgender people.
